    FAF elections for the community manager are coming up again. Below are the details of the position and the time table for the elections.

    Role and Responsibilities

    The Community Manager carries the following responsibilities:

    • Being a communication relay between players and contributors
    • Collecting data related to the player experience
    • Being present for the players and answering questions

    Examples of what this could look like is as follows:

    • Organize a schedule of the FAF community project events
      Gather feedback from the FAF project community to determine their top desires and problems
    • Present and represent this information in the best interests of the players to the other contributors
    • Be available in as many areas as possible (forums, discord, FAF) in order to both be aware of player issues while also being available to answer questions
    • Keep general users aware of the state of the FAF project while also understanding what areas actually need more manpower from general users interested in contributing
    • Keeping yourself aware both of gameplay trends as well as player attitude trends across all ranges of players
    • Working with developers on data dumps and gathering information from data dumps to get a more refined picture of the FAF playerbase and the major issues facing them
    • Being an individual that developers in general can approach for input about what would best benefit FAF

    These are just ideas to get you started. As this position is new, there is no clearly defined scope where the Community Manager responsibilities start and end, so you can in part shape it according to your vision in collaboration with the FAF Association Board. Note that the community manager position is about communication and does not carry any responsibility of authority to make decisions for other areas of FAF

    Election Procedure

    The Community Manager will be elected by a popular vote by the general
    players of FAF for 1-year terms after vetting by the board. This will occur under
    the following timetable:

    • April 1st - Announcement that candidates should submit their applications to
      the board.
    • April 15th - Sign ups close, beginning of a 2-week vetting period
    • May 1st - Candidates are announced by the board and a 1-week discussion
      period begins
    • May 8th - Voting starts
    • May 15th - Voting concludes, results are tallied, and new Community Manager
      is announced.

    Application Submission Process

    Please submit applications for the position by emailing admin@faforever.com or by sending the applications to an association board member.
    Ideally an application would contain your FAF username, your background, why you are interested in the Community Manager position, Ideas you have for the Community Manager position and any other information you deem relevant.
